10 +
11 +The call to //client.list_resource_requests(repoInfo.nameInTheUrl)// in the batch-exmaple notebooks currently (19 August 2022) result in a "504 Gateway Time-out" error due to a problem in the back-end. As a workaround, please just skip the part by inserting a line with the content

14 +//a=client.list_resource_requests(repoInfo.nameInTheUrl)//
15 +in the example notebook. This skips the pre-check for an existing quota (so, if a quota entry is missing the execution will fail later), but allows the notebook to run, if a quota entry is present (which is the usual case).

17 -When starting the Jupyter notebook environment for the first time it takes about a minute (without visible "in progress" indication) until the example files appear in the file-chooser. Until then the list is just empty. So the fix here is "have a minute patience", then click the "Lab" link again.

23 -It is possible, that accessing the "Lab" link results in a "timeout" message. This can happen, when the lab environment is started for the first time on one of the virtual machines providing the service, as the very first start per machine takes quite some time (in the order of 2 minutes). Accessing the "Lab" link again after a few minutes usually works.

42 -Via choosing a different lab execution site it is be possible to choose a specific site, if there are specific needs for the created Jupyter virtual machine for a given task (e.g. a large memory requirement). Currently all the examples do not need any site specific features, so you can select in principle any site. The "safe choice" is to use CSCS as the primary execution site.
